It’s been more than four months since both sides of the aisle in the Virginia General Assembly called on Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam to resign after it was revealed there was a racist photo on his medical school yearbook page. It was one of the few times in recent years Republicans and Democrats in Richmond were aligned on an issue. But as elections for the 140-member legislature draw closer, some Democrats have accepted donations from the governor despite trying to distance themselves from him in the weeks after the racist photo plunged Virginia into the national spotlight. Northam’s political action...

MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton raised eyebrows Wednesday when he met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with critics pointing out that conservatives are scolded for similar relationships. Sharpton’s “Politics Nation” is a weekend news program on the leftist network. Mediaite’s Caleb Howe spotted a photo of the meeting on Sharpton’s Twitter feed and pondered why MSNBC isn’t criticized in the same way conservative outlets are when pundits meet with GOP lawmakers. “The question raised today was whether MSNBC, through Sharpton, should be subject to the same criticism,” Howe wrote.

LEXINGTON, Va. -- Clare Perry considers herself a Democrat. Grayson Pearce is a Republican. She's from Richmond, and he's from Virginia Beach. Despite holding opposing political values, they both have the same question: What is the matter with Virginia? In particular, what's wrong with its politics? A few months ago, in a cascade of disgraces, both Gov. Ralph Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring admitted to having worn blackface. Then, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax was accused of sexual assault by two women. Now the stories have seemingly disappeared from the front pages, or any pages, of the local news outlets....

April 29, 2019 (MassResistance) — Last month we reported how Houston MassResistance activists exposed a Houston Public Library "Drag Queen" as a convicted child sex offender. Now, it turns out that a second Houston Public Library Drag Queen was convicted of multiple sexual assaults against young children, according to records uncovered by Houston MassResistance activists. The man has also written a lurid article describing his work as a transgender prostitute. And he was photographed at a Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) event carrying a rubber chicken — a symbol used by homosexuals to indicate a sexual preference for young boys....

Say, remember when the news media wouldn’t stop demanding Donald Trump disavow David Duke even though Donald Trump repeatedly disavowed David Duke? I wonder how they’re going to feel about David Duke rushing to Ilhan Omar’s defense this morning. After Nikki Haley called out Omar’s latest foray into anti-Semitism, David Duke was there to provide air cover. Anti-Semitic birds of a feather … I’d say that Duke must be Ilhan’s brother from another mother. But then she’d probably try to marry him. Listen, the party that most aligns with the raging anti-Semitism Duke burps out on a regular basis was...
